Water-lubricated bearings usually operate under severe environmental conditions, most likely in the mixed regime, in which surface contact between the drive shaft and the bearing sleeve is often significant. This presents great challenges to bearing design, especially material selection. The Tenmat, Thordon, and Rubber are common water-lubricated bearing composites. In this paper, by using a block-on-ring test apparatus, the Stribeck curve, wear rate, and vibration characteristics of three kinds of polymer materials in water-lubricated bearings (Tenmat, Thordon SXL, and Ben Teng Group (BTG) Rubber) under low speed and heavy load were studied. The experimental results show that, under the same working conditions, BTG rubber has excellent tribological properties and vibration properties. The research method in this paper can provide references for the selection of materials used for friction pair, improvement of working performance and vibration reduction of water-lubricated bearings in the future.

Oriented overgrowth of polymer materials onto ionic crystals is well known and recently it was demonstrated that this epitaxial crystallisation can also occur in polymer/polymer systems, under certain conditions. The morphologies and the resulting physical properties of such systems will be presented, especially the influence of epitaxial interfaces on the adhesion of polymer laminates and the mechanical properties of epitaxially crystallized sandwiched layers.Materials used were polyethylene, PE, Lupolen 6021 DX (HDPE) and 1810 D (LDPE) from BASF AG; polypropylene, PP, (PPN) provided by Höchst AG and polybutene-1, PB-1, Vestolen BT from Chemische Werke Hüls. Thin oriented films were prepared according to the method of Petermann and Gohil, by winding up two different polymer films from two separately heated glass-plates simultaneously with the help of a motor driven cylinder. One double layer was used for TEM investigations, while about 1000 sandwiched layers were taken for mechanical tests.

Phenomena occurring in the contact area between two mating bodies are characterised by high complexity and variability. Comparisons are usually made between parameters such as the coefficient of friction, friction force, wear and temperature in relation to time and friction path. Their correct measurement enables the proper evaluation of tribological properties of materials used in the friction pair. This paper concerns the measurements of basic tribological parameters in the friction of selected polymer composites. Knowing the tribological properties of these composite materials, it will be possible to create proper operating conditions for kinematic friction pairs. This study investigated the coefficients of friction, friction force and temperatures of six polymer composites: cast polyamide PA6 G with oil, PA6 G with MoS2, polyoxymethylene POM with aluminium, polyethylene terephthalate PET with polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE, PTFE with bronze, and PTFE with graphite. The friction surface was also examined using an optical system and computer software for 3D measurements. As a result, PA6-G with oil was found to be the best choice as a composite material for thin sliding coatings.

There is not much plastic welding currently done and not much research has been done on plastic welding. The purpose of this study was to study the use of welding variations used to join the thermoset polymer material. The thermoset polymer materials used are acrylic, melamine and bakelit with the test sample measuring 80mm in length, 30mm in width and 3mm in thickness. Variations in welding are used using hot gas welding, electric soldering and gas torches. The test method is carried out after welding to determine the porosity of the weld using a penetrant liquid. Hardness testing was also carried out. The best welding results are shown on acrylic material using electric solder, showing that the amount of porosity is the least, and has the highest hardness test.

Thermal analysis can be used as one of the basis for the friction pair material selection in high-speed friction braking system. In this study, the experimental results showed that surface temperature could be reduced by increasing the radius of the friction disk or thermal conductivity coefficient of disk material with stable braking; In the early stage of long braking, the temperature on the friction surface rises rapidly, but further braking does not lead to a significant rise in temperature; In the case of short braking, there is not enough time for the friction surface to reach the critical temperature, and the disk surface reaches the maximum temperature at the end of braking. During long braking, the dimensionless time capacity of the friction surface reaching the highest temperature is F0 ≈ 0.1F0s.

Рассмотрены основные виды реторт-упаковки, полимерные и комбинированные материалы, применяемые для ее изготовления. С учетом области применения такой упаковки к ней применяются определенные требования: устойчивость к стерилизации при температуре не ниже 120 °С, паро- и влагонепроницаемость, химическая инертность к консервируемым продуктам, герметичность, низкая газопроницаемость. Для придания реторт-упаковке требуемых свойств ее изготавливают из многослойных полимерных или комбинированных материалов, каждый из слоев которого выполняет определенные функции. В качестве внешних слоев чаще всего используют полипропилен или полиэтилентерефталат, так как эти полимерные материалы термически и химически устойчивы, паро- и влагонепроницаемы. В качестве серединного слоя используют материалы, являющиеся барьерами для газов - алюминиевую фольгу, металлизированные пленки, этиленвиниловый спирт, полиамид. Для изготовления таких материалов и упаковки применяют соэкструзию полимеров, многослойное литье под давлением или ламинирование. Благодаря барьерным свойствам полимерных и комбинированных материалов по отношению к кислороду реторт-упаковка обеспечивает сроки годности консервированной продукции до 5 лет. Это сравнимо с консервами в традиционной упаковке, что позволяет рассматривать реторт-упаковку из полимерных и комбинированных материалов в качестве альтернативы стеклянной и металлической упаковке. В розничной продаже консервы в реторт-упаковке из полимерных и комбинированных материалов представлены в основном мясными паштетами, пюреобразными консервами для детского питания, соусами и кетчупами, а также влажными кормами для животных. В реторт-упаковке также выпускают тушеное мясо, первые и вторые обеденные блюда, консервированный сыр, некоторые виды фруктовых и овощных консервов, но это в основном продукция для спецконтингента (например, военнослужащие, космонавты). This article describes the main types of retortable package, polymer and combined materials used for its. Taking into account the application of such package, certain requirements apply to it: resistance to sterilization at a temperature of not less than 120 °C, vapor and moisture resistance, chemical inertia to canned products, leakproofness, low gas permeability. To give the retort packaging the required properties, it is made of multilayer polymer or combined materials, each of the layers of which performs certain functions. As the outer layers, polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate is most often used, since these polymer materials are thermally and chemically stable, vapor and moisture-proof. As the middle layer, materials that are barriers to gases are used aluminum foil, metallized films, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyamide. For the manufacture of such materials and package, polymer co-extrusion, multi-layer injection molding or lamination are used. Due to the barrier properties of polymer and combine materials in relation to oxygen, retortable packaging provides shelf life of canned products up to 3 years. This is comparable to canned food in traditional package, which allows us to consider retortable package made of polymer and combined materials as an alternative to glass and metal packaging. In retail sales, canned food in retortable package made of polymer and combined materials is mainly represented by meat pates, canned puree for baby food, sauces and ketchups, as well as wet animal feed. The retortable packaging also produces stewed meat, dinner dishes, canned cheese, some types of fruit and vegetable canned food, but these are mainly products for special contractors (for example, military personnel, astronauts).

Purpose This paper aims to confirm that increasing the hardness of thrust collars can improve the load carrying capacity (LCC) and wear resistance of water lubricated thrust bearings (WTBs) made of polymers paired with non-polymeric thrust collars, and to design a WTB with high LCC and durability for a shaftless pump-jet propulsor of an autonomous underwater vehicle. Six kinds of WTBs were manufactured by matching aluminum bronze, stainless steel and silicon nitride with two different polymer bearing materials. Their tribological behaviors were tested and compared. Design/methodology/approach The tribological behaviors of the WTBs made with different materials were investigated experimentally on a specially designed test rig. Findings Aluminum bronze is not suitable for crafting thrust collars of heavy load WTBs due to severe abrasive wear. Two body abrasive wear first occurred between the thrust collar and the polymer bearing. Next, aluminum bronze wear particles were produced. The particles acted between the two materials and formed three body abrasive wear. Stainless steel/polymer bearings showed better wear resistance while Si3N4/polymer bearings were the best. Improving the hardness of thrust collars is significant to the LCC and service life of WTBs. Originality/value The wear mechanism of WTBs under heavy load conditions was revealed. Improving the hardness of the thrust collar was confirmed to be a preferable method to improve the wear resistance and LCC of WTBs. The results of this study may provide an important reference for the selection of water lubricated materials and the design of heavy load WTBs.

Hydrogen as a CO2-free fuel has been considered as a serious alternative for problematic fossil fuels in recent decades Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a developing solar-based technology for hydrogen production. In this study, some possible options for upgrading this technology from R&D stage to prototype stage through a material selection approach is investigated. For these purpose, TOPSIS algorithm through a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) approach was utilized for evaluating different (PEC)-based hydrogen production materials. TiO2, WO3 and BiVO4 as three semiconductors known for their PEC application, were selected as alternatives in this decision-making study. After defining a set of criteria, which were assessed based on similar studies and experts' visions, a group of ten PEC-experts including university professors and PhD students were asked to fill the questionnaires. The eight criteria considered in this study are include "Study Cost", "Synthesis Simplicity", "Facility & Availability", "Deposition capability on TCO", "Modifiability", "Commercialization in H2 production", "Physical and Chemical Durability" and "Eco-friendly Fabrication". The final TOPSIS results indicates that TiO2 is selected as the best semiconductor for further investments in order to upgrade the PEC-based hydrogen production technology from R&D level to prototype stage. ©2019.
